1 ) Make the AVS 36 a BR2 LMG (Remove from BR5 and add to BR2. Replace those already purchased with AVT or make it legacy guns.). This will give the Soviets something to use other than the highly questionable Madsen. This will increase diversity in BR2. This will reduce the amount of clones in the rifle branch in BR5.
Also, many armies used rifles with automatic fire mode as something like ersatz machine guns.
2 ) Replace the AVT 40 with a twenty-round magazine with the AVS 36 with a twenty-round magazine for the upcoming update. This way we will not get two identical rifles with different magazines, but two different rifles with different magazines, which will avoid such a large number of clones in the branch and will diversify the BR5 gaming experience.
Objection, AVS-36 is a rifle and was used in the role of a rifle, its Fedorov Avtomat that was designed as a machine gun and was used as a machine gun.
Only in Russian Empire and during the Russian Civil War (Maybe). During the largest and last documented (although Fyodorov’s Automat was still found in militia warehouses during the Battle of Moscow) use of Fyodorov’s Automat in the USSR, namely during the Soviet-Finnish War, Fyodorov’s Automat was used to arm assault or reconnaissance units on the Mannerheim Line, and in the USSR, Fyodorov’s Automat was used precisely as an automatic rifle or “assault rifle”, and not as a machine gun.
After which it was all converted to use disks. Because the bunker holds less ammunition and its reloading takes more time than replacing the disk. In addition, they said then that a machine gun with such a magazine capacity is not a machine gun at all.
Let’s assume that some of them remained in storage and were later distributed. Madsen also does not appear to be in service with the USSR, but nevertheless appears in the TT.
The Americans somehow got through the entire war with BARs and a few Johnsons, and nothing happened.
This was the opinion of specific people at a specific time. By the way, the BAR and Johnson use removable magazines, not bunkers. And in the case of the DP, we have a choice between a disk and a bunker. And the Red Army command reasonable decided that using a disk was more rational than using a bunker and stopped using it. It so happened that commanders from reality did not assemble setups for combat ratings.
After all the improvements, the Cossacks could count on either a shovel handle or this mortar.
The Germans don’t have a light machine gun like the Browning, so I suggest transferring the FG 42 2 with a 10-round magazine to 2 br.
